Beneath The Scars
Evelyn Rosado

“This is so wrong on every level,” I tell myself.
“She doesn’t trust anyone.”
“She’s too broken.”
But I’m just as broken. And she’s more than that. I know her. I see through her shell of pain and see the real her. I see the beauty in her that’s shackled to the deafening echoes of her past.
We both have demons.
We're both looking to fill the endless void within us.
We both want to mend the fragments from our past.
If we move forward…together, we may finally be able to free ourselves from the bitterness that chains us. But the amount of guilt and regret that lies beneath the scars may turn out to consume the both of us in the process.
